25 Years Experience
Not Just a Decorator.
A Commercial Contractor.
We're a Hampshire-based commercial painting and refurbishment contractor with over 25 years' experience.
​
We work with facilities managers, business owners and property teams on projects from £5,000 to £1m, delivering everything from office redecorations to full WC and kitchen refurbishments.
​
One point of contact. Defined scope. A fixed programme. A finish that reflects well on your business.
You've worked with contractors before. Maybe they quoted low and the costs crept up. Maybe they didn't show on the agreed start date, left your site in a mess, or went quiet when you needed an update.
​
Running a business or managing a commercial property is demanding enough without having to chase contractors, coordinate trades yourself, or deal with a project that drags on well past the deadline.
​
That's the problem we've built Cosgrove around solving.
How
we're
different
Defined Scope, Fixed Price
We agree exactly what's included before any work starts. No vague estimates. No extras appearing mid-project. If something genuinely changes, we'll tell you before we act on it.
A Managed Programme
Every project has a start date, a completion date, and a sequence of works planned around your operation. You'll know what's happening and when.
Single Point of Contact
You deal directly with the directors throughout. No account managers, no passing the buck. Decisions are made quickly and communication is clear.
Minimal Disruption
We work in live commercial environments. Phased working, flexible hours where needed, clean sites every day. Your business keeps running.

Why Cosgrove
01
25 years of commercial experience
Cosgrove Painting Contractors has been delivering painting and decorating work across Hampshire since the late 1990s. Our new build contracts, still the backbone of the business, have given us the scale, discipline and quality systems that smaller decorators simply haven't built.
02
​Constructionline Silver accredited
We're registered with Constructionline at Silver level, giving facilities managers and procurement teams the assurance that our health and safety, financial and business practices have been independently verified.
03
SMAS accredited
Our SMAS accreditation confirms we meet the standards required for safe contracting in commercial environments.
04
A managed trade network
​For refurbishment projects, we coordinate trusted subcontractors across decoration, tiling, flooring, joinery and certified plumbing and electrical trades. You get a single, joined-up project — not a series of separate contractors to manage yourself.
05
Owner-managed and accountable
Steve and Dominic Cosgrove run the business. When you work with Cosgrove, you're dealing with the people whose name is on the company. That matters when a decision needs to be made quickly or an issue needs to be resolved.
A Family Business.
A Professional Contractor.
Cosgrove Painting Contractors was founded over 25 years ago and is run by directors Steve and Dominic Cosgrove from our Southampton base.
We've grown through reputation, most of our new build work comes through repeat business and long-standing developer relationships, and we're now expanding our commercial decorating and refurbishment offering across Hampshire.
​
We work with businesses that want a contractor they can trust: one that turns up, communicates clearly, delivers to a programme, and takes pride in the finished result.
